Natural Jewel Seisenberg Gorge

The entrance to the natural jewel which is the Seisenberg Gorge is close to the town centre of Weißbach. The gorge is 600 metres long, 50 metres deep and in places down to only 80 centimetres wide. In 1831, it was roped by lumberjacks who used it to transport timber down the valley, and some say you can still hear some of the gorge’s ghosts. Climbing out of the gorge brings you to a real hiking paradise. For extended hikes, there is the Alm Adventure Bus from the town centre which connects the Weißbach Nature park with the Berchtesgaden National Park. This makes the popular hiking routes on the picturesque Kalbrunnalmen and the Hirschbichl easily reachable.
